LETTER: Gun violence is but a symptom

In reponse to James Geffert’s April 24 letter on guns:

We had gun racks in our trucks, yet no one shot anyone. Why is that? Nowadays nobody wants to discuss the elephant in the room: our sick culture, removing God and prayer from schools; the mental illness affecting our children, like all the drugs prescribed to them by parents too busy to keep track of their kids; social media; and now telling them they can be any gender they want. All this is more dangerous than any gun. Fix society. Guns aren’t the problem.
